In fact the official FEMA provided course materials and a state certificate is conveyed upon completion of the course.

In hours 3 and 4 the local jurisdiction or entities selected representatives assists in the "products of particular interest to agency officials" section. This section of the course allows for the local emergency manager, public safety official or agency head the oppurtunity to interact with the folks in there jurisdiction with whom they have to have a critical relationship during an incident. The potential products discussed in this segment of the course are: delegations of authority, disaster declarations, the use of key decision logs, the ICS 209 incident summary, transition plans , demobilization plans, and final narratives. Agency or other jursidictional specific items can be added to this segment.

The final hour is reserved for a short powerpoint based tabletop of 5 -7 questions based on the jurisdiction or agencies current emergency operations document. This approach has been cultivated during deliveries in over 50 jurisdictions, agencies and companies by Blue Cell instructors. These jurisdictions and companies have ranged in size from Denver to Dove Creek, Colorado and every size imaginable in between.

The 402 E also allows for appropriate compliance with NIMS to continue, because unless your jurisdiction has found either Gold or Oil under the ground you own, it is still the national system for the management of domestics incidents that has been adopted by Resolution, Executive Order, Ordinace or Presidential Directive.
